British-born Indian driver Aditya Kulkarni makes a return to the GB3 Championship at Brands Hatch with new series entrants AKCEL GP.

Kulkarni, who has also raced in GB4, where he scored four podium finishes, competed the full GB3 season in 2024, before moving on to the Formula Regional European Championship, where he teamed up with AKCEL for the first time.

That relationship has continued into 2026, with the team moving over to GB3 after purchasing two Tatuus MSV GB3-025 cars during the summer.

Testing commenced, and the team made its first official appearance during the Brands Hatch test on 10 September.
